Am I the only person who think she should end up with Diggle? I know he looks a lot older, but it's not that creepy, is it?

Exactly. Her skills are based around exploiting people and institutions and either she isn't clever enough to think ahead, is too lazy and self-absorbed to do so, or has come to rely on those skills as a crutch. As a result, however great she is at playing people to get out of a tight spot, she just lurches from one

Keeping schtum isn't about sparing anyone's feelings. It's about behaving in a professional manner and owning the failure of the product you publicly claimed as yours.

Of course not. It's the throwing under a bus in retrospect that's obnoxious. He didn't have to say anything at all. Or he could identify a mistake he made and blame that.

Yeah. I agree entirely. When Dollhouse first came out people asked him about executive interference and he denied it. Then he blames executive interference in retrospect.

Well, lately zombies have been getting a lot faster, and they do replicate. We've also seen animalistic vampires in Blade II, and they drew quite heavily from zombie iconography. FWIW, I agree with your ideas being cool. I just really like vampires because they can be a vehicle for some many themes: starvation, drugs,

They already do unreasoning monsters with an irresistible drive to eat human flesh: they're called zombies.

Wow. How had I not heard about Only Lovers...? I'm a huge vampire genre fan, and with that cast and director - I can't wait! Eternal thanks for the tip. :)

Homosexuality, like heterosexuality, isn't just about sex. It's also about romance and intimacy. So presumably lesbian sf would feature a female protagonist whose romantic and sexual interests were in other female characters. No adult content required.

I'd rather they left the corpses in, instead of having them disappear.

Maybe they have been phoning it in, but I don't think you can ever accuse Cruise of that. In his case, it's more to do with the movie stars/actors distinction. Hepburn, Bogart, Wayne, Grant - none of them disappeared into their roles either. They're still rightly considered cinematic icons.

Your premises are flawed, though. There is no natural human behaviour without culture (liberal, conservative, cosmopolitan, rural, whatever - culture itself is natural), nor can there be any decision-making or given value of "optimal" without culture. And it's not the case that some culture-less nature would "dictate"

Yes! Thank you!

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'll definitely seek this out and stay away from any Fringe discussion in the meantime!

I've not watched an episode of Fringe and not read this recap. I'd like to get into it when the DVDs come out, but I'm unsure after being burned by the ending of BSG.

Someone call the Doctor!
